The Brian D. O’Leary Show

November 16, 2022

We are in the second week of our daily shows. This week we’ve been tackling the monster topic of the Spanish Civil War.

Longer show than normal today, clocking in right around 40 minutes. We like to have these daily shows a bit shorter…at 20-30 minutes, but we went overtime today. Please accept the apologies of the staff and enjoy the show in the meantime.

Continuing the discussion from yesterday’s show, we reference an article in this month’s Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture.

Today we dive into what fascism is and what it is not. We also delve into the topic of “antifascism” so-called.

The rest of this week will be devoted to analysis of this article and will get into some parallels we see between the lead-up to the Spanish War and our culture today. It is analogous, but certainly not one-for-one.

Go to https://chroniclesmagazine.org/ for the articles. Great magazine and the only print magazine to which I currently subscribe.

Follow us on Twitter @BrianDOLeary . That’s also where we will notify you when and/or if we go live each day.

This is the second show of the second week in our new daily podcast. We’ve shelved the idea of livestreaming these shows…for the time being.

Brian will talk about that on a future episode…logistically it works better for everyone at this point to do a podcast without a live element. That may change in the future. We welcome feedback from our listeners on this as well.

One of the beautiful things about podcasting is that it is NOT live… It’s not radio, it’s podcasting.

If you’re new, we just started doing a daily show as well. This is the first show of the second week. We’ve shelved the idea of livestreaming these shows…for the time being.

Brian will talk about that on a future episode…logistically it works better for everyone at this point to do a podcast without a live element. That may change in the future. We welcome feedback from our listeners on this as well.

One of the beautiful things about podcasting is that it is NOT live… It’s not radio, it’s podcasting.

Today we get into a couple of subjects we came across in this month’s Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture.

We left off in our discussion of the Spanish War about midstream, so we will get back to it later this week, hopefully for Tuesday’s show.

Brian welcomes you to his new project, a daily podcast that will drop 5 days a week. We’re working on doing this via livestream … and we will likely do that for future episodes.

We had some more technical difficulties with the livestream, so we came back to re-record a new podcast.

Follow us on Twitter @BrianDOLeary . That’s where we will notify you when we go live each day. At the beginning of this project, those times will be inconsistent.

We had our first livestream today, but it was rife with technical difficulties. We re-recorded and talked a little bit about Herschel Walker—mostly about Herschel the football player, not Herschel the political candidate.

Today, O’Leary gives us some of his thoughts on the aftermath of mid-term elections and how politics and football are similar—most people don’t know the rules, but they participate and root as if they do. Not a perfect analogy, but we flesh it out a little bit…

Haley Heathman grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana and went to DePauw University where she played tennis and was a three-time All-American and an NCAA finalist in doubles. She was elected to the DePauw University Athletics Hall of Fame in 2016.

Other DePaw Hall of Famers include:

Haley had a career as a luxury yacht stewardess for nearly a decade and eventually got out of that line of work and immersed herself in the culture of hunting. This new passion culminated in Haley writing a book entitled, Hunt It, Clean It, Cook It, Eat It: The Complete Field to Table Guide to Bagging More Game, Cleaning It Like a Pro, and Cooking Wild Game Meals Even Non-Hunters Will Love.

Haley now lives in Florida and runs the Liberty Alliance Network and is the host of the What Can We Do? podcast.

Tom Woods

Haley has followed Tom’s work since about 2011 after finding out about the great Ron Paul in 2010.

Says The Revolution: A Manifesto by Ron Paul was an “instant lightbulb. Haven’t looked back since.”

She calls herself part of the “Ron Paul-to-Tom Woods Pipeline.”

Like myself, Haley is a member of The Tom Woods School of Life. “OG’s”

Before we connected in the backchannels within the Tom’s School of Life network, I saw some of the videos Haley did at the Tom Woods School of Life live event weekend. I was not at the event, but saw her man-on-the-street interviews after the fact.

These short interviews are now up on her Rumble channel, WhatCanWeDo.

Her first interview was with Jeremy Evans, who we had on Episode 2 of this podcast.

I would have liked to have gone, but I haven’t gone on a plane since probably 2019. I don’t know when I’m going to be comfortable going to an airport or on an airplane. These people were evil and wicked.

In college, Haley interned with C-SPAN. If you are an old-school cable television watcher, you probably know about C-SPAN.

The C-SPAN Bus.

Over the last week and a half, we’ve been fielding a lot of questions about a segment of our podcast that takes on the dominant narrative surrounding the “Penn State Case.”

I am not interested in in appearances, as I often say. I am concerned with the truth. The Sandusky case is not something I had any desire in learning about, but once I scratched the surface, it began a deep-dive into the facts and the narrative surrounding the case.

I’ve written about it in the past…taking a position as I have—which unfortunately appears to be the only reasonable position—is an easy way to get one shunned from polite society.

So here is my challenge: just listen to the show. You may not want to. You may think it will creep you out…it very well could. But this is an important story and it goes much deeper than a man’s guilt or innocence.

It exposes the cultural rot that exists within this society…and its cause is probably the opposite of what most people have been told.

We have a corporate media structure that exists in today’s culture comprised—almost entirely—of truly unimpressive people. These people jump to rash conclusions either out of sheer ignorance or wonton political—read: leftist—motivations.

I don’t know how we fight back against it, but I believe that being aware of the problem is a good place to start.

Part of my initial strategy for building awareness—even in the last show notes page—was to send you back to Episode 77 of Sportlanders the Podcast, which I called “the most important podcast” we’d done up until that point…and start from there.

Human nature is such that people would rather insult me than go through the effort of hunting down an old podcast—a task which was not difficult, as I gave the link right in the show notes.

Thus, after a rash of BS heading my way, my tactics changed.

What we did is compile our material on the case into one single show, edited for clarity and relevance.

We encourage you to start here. Today.

This “2-in-1 podcast” is designed to help you get the basics of what is going on with this case and to ultimately go and listen to John Ziegler’s epic podcast series With the Benefit of Hindsight.

Meanwhile, we are praying that all our friends in Florida, the Carolinas, and the rest of the eastern seaboard are safe after the hurricane. In fact, we had to reschedule a podcast because of the hurricane earlier this week.

So, for today, my team cobbled together a “starter kit podcast” for the Penn State–Paterno–Sandusky case as it stands right now.

The foremost expert on the case is John Ziegler, who we’ve had on the show twice so far—once in February and once again in September. You can find those shows in our archives, if you need to, but the whole shootin’ match is right here for you.

Go to BrianDOLeary.com for all of those resources and to sign up for our daily newsletter and to be notified whenever new podcasts are launched.

Today’s episode consists of the two interviews, slightly edited for time and clarity … yet this program you are about to listen to still runs at over two hours.

The first part of the program you will hear in a moment was from Episode 77 of Sportlanders the Podcast. The second part was a conversation from within Episode 8 of The O’Leary Review Podcast.

Part one is probably what I call a “survey” of the case.

John came on the podcast with me in February when I was still very wet behind the ears on the subject and after I had recently finished his podcast series, which is the best resource for the case. You’ll hear us mention it several times throughout this show.

Go over to John’s podcast with Liz Habib—With the Benefit of Hindsight—and there you’ll get the whole story. But there is also several…

Mega podcast for you. Two hours of content.

We talk PGA vs LIV golf, college football, and step back into “The Penn State Case.”

We’ve provided some links and a bit of commentary for you. The main show notes page will be updated at

https://briandoleary.substack.com/podcast

Search for John Ziegler - With the Benefit of Hindsight when you get to that page. It should be Episode 8 of The O'Leary Review Podcast.

This podcast is definitely a "conversation that matters" …

John Ziegler is a documentary filmmaker, author, Emmy-winning commentator, podcaster, former radio talk show host and television sportscaster, and was called “An American Hero,” by former Penn State president Graham Spanier in an inscription of his book The Lion’s Den. This description is mocked by Ziegler’s wife and kids.

John was last with us in February on episode 77 of Sportlanders the Podcast when we spoke for over 90 minutes on the Penn State-Joe Paterno-Jerry Sandusky scandal that emerged in November 2011.

John’s podcast, which he hosts with Liz Habib, called With the Benefit of Hindsight is over 60 hours of detailed reporting on the case.

In this podcast series, “The truth about what happened at Penn State has been locked in a vault for ten years — you’ve just been given the key.”

You can find everything relating to the podcast at FramingPaterno.com

Other than his tireless reporting on the truth in the Penn State debacle, which includes a 2012 documentary called The Framing of Joe Paterno, Ziegler is most well- known for his second feature documentary film called Media Malpractice which covered the 2008 presidential election.

Ziegler is an alumnus of Georgetown University and grew up in Pennsylvania, though with no direct ties to Penn State University.

LIV Golf issue

The LIV is in the process of ruining pro golf. It will eventually—both directly and indirectly—destroy the essence of professional golf.

The PGA Tour

The Tour went a long way in setting us back when it came to its response to the covid situation.

Professional golf is a sport that is uniquely designed to change people’s lives. Competing in LIV does not do that.

The Saudis have not created a new market. It is an “artificial stimulus.” A “kamikaze” attack on an American institution perhaps.

Golf, to be compelling, must have an element of fear. When everyone becomes super-rich, there’s nothing to fear.

Tiger Woods (& Rory McIlroy) role in the PGA Tour … Is the Tour becoming cartelized? The golf media won’t ask the questions because it is terrified of Tiger Woods.

Does the sport of golf need professional golf to thrive or even survive?

College football

Sports have contributed to the cultural decline over the last two-and-a-half years. This much is clear.

Pro golf, college and pro basketball, and college football all had the chance to step up and be leaders in the culture and stand up to the crazy policies implemented by the covid regime, but none of them did. Every other sports organization and league across the world were cowardly as well.

How and why did this happen?

The cancellation of the 2020 Ivy League basketball tournament started the ball rolling…

“College football no longer exists.”

Winning the National Championship is now…
